ETFs are investment funds that trade on stock exchanges, holding a diversified portfolio. ETFs offer instant diversification by allowing investors to buy a small slice of a variety of assets. ETFs trade like stocks, with prices fluctuating throughout the trading day. Popular for their diversification, lower costs, trading flexibility, and tax efficiency. Types of ETFs include stock, bond, commodity, international, sector/thematic, and inverse/leveraged ETFs. Downsides include market risk, tracking errors, liquidity issues, and the complexity of specialized ETFs. Key differences with mutual funds include trading mechanisms, costs, management styles, and tax implications.   Love the Show? Then how about a Donation?
